Ain't got time to shoot the breeze,
Got no time to blow,
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go!

I was born in the morning on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow..my momma kissed me on my cheek and said:
I gotta go!


Chorus:
I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go

aint got time for standing standing here,
I gotta go!


They put me in an orphanage west of Tupelo
I told em when I burnt that bridge,
I gotta go!

Stole a car?
got a gun robbed the hidey ho
I left Memphis on the run...

I gotta go!

Chorus:

I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go


aint got time for standing here,
I gotta go!


Five card stud, dueces wild,
Three kings in a row,
I turned that diamond duece and smiled,

I gotta go

They tracked my down and took my take

Brother don't you know
I told them boys there's some mistake
?I gotta go!



Chorus:

I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
We're wasting time standing here,

I gotta go!

..in case you didn't hear,

I gotta go!
.. the very last words, sir
Say em nice and slow,

My last words on this planet were...

Chorus:

I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
We're wasting time standing here,

I gotta go!
